I currently own 2gb (2 x 1 gb) of Patriot Extreme DDR2-800 with CAS 4.
My question is if i were to buy another 2gb of ram identical to this one, except with CAS 5, will i be able to run all 4 sticks at CAS 4?
Also, if i have 4GB of ram do i have to use a 64bit OS? (I currently have XP Pro SP 2 32bit).
My system specs:
Intel C2D E6600
MSI P6N Platinum
2 gb Patriot DDR2-800 CAS4
Geforce 8800 GTS 640Mb
Everything is stock and nothing is overclocked.
